AUTUMN by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THE MORNS ARE MEEKER THAN THEY WERE
Last Line: I'LL PUT A TRINKET ON.
Subject(s): AUTUMN; SEASONS; FALL;

THE morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.
